On another day, I have felt myself think. I wish time would stop so I can catch up. Well it happened. So I am thinking about HOW to invest my time today, and for the future. And WHO I spend that time with. Peace and Love and make this worth it.

2 Weeks. That is what I say to myself every morning, 2 more weeks. Each of us has that capacity and resolve to hold the course for you and our communities. Thank you

Understand that some may be hurting more than you, yet all of us are doing what we can to help the hospitals and medical workers. To those people I thank you. The ONE thing you can do is to take care of yourself physically and emotionally. They both need help. Here is a handy reference for those that want help with the latter. And if you need a ear, call me, that is what I do. Listen and help.

"We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and changing world. We must learn to welcome and not to fear the voices of dissent. We must dare to think about 'unthinkable things,' because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless." -- James W. Fulbright, 1964

What's important to you?
On this Valentine’s Day, take a moment to discover for yourself what is uniquely important to you through the eyes of someone else. Here are two quick and easy steps to find out something from a wife, husband, partner, friend (or anyone else you might be closely connected to!) that just might transform your relationship:
1. First, take a moment to let this person know you are interested in doing something a little different this Valentine’s Day – finding out what is important to them about being in a relationship with you! Ask them a simple question: “What’s important to you about our relationship?”

2. Take the answer they give you and ask this follow-up question: “What’s so important about that?” Keep “drilling up” with similar questions until you land on something special that has you feel deeply connected to your partner.
One pitfall to be mindful of is talking about what we don't want, rather than what is important. It’s far more effective to look at what you want, rather than what you don’t want. This makes it easier to get to what’s important.
This is a simple exercise to discover what is deeply important to both you and your partner about being together in a relationship. If you don’t have a significant other, this works great with a close family member or a dear friend.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thinking this is entirely accurate and where I go when I feel attacked or low in energy.

A BIG fan in Theory but the practice of setting aside time to be mindful is the practice. How do you do it?

For many of us, getting healthy, fit, and happy is a major priority for 2019. But, with so much attention paid to quick weight loss and fitness fads, it’s easy to forget that being healthy goes way beyond physical fitness.

Interesting article about our lack of "supportive connections" with others, and how that may affect us. Starts with kids, and amplified as adults.

Child psychology can teach us about the current GOP.
